‘The less you can afford for your frocks, the more care you must take with your accessories.’– Christian Dior, fashion designer, 1954 Accessories are key for any season and every trend as this season is all about making a statement, whether it’s taking on international inspiration, shimmering summertime metallics, the oh so pretty trend or the feeling of empowerment. Here are my must-have accessories for Spring ♥

For us women, bags are key, with always  so much to carry around! A new season or occasion is the perfect excuse to buy another one, as an investment of course! Summer shimmer in the day is a huge trend for this season, I love the Marc by Marc Jacobs sequin cosmetic bag, small enough to slip into your bigger bag but sparkly enough to use as a mini clutch.  For a little less sparkle and more of edgy metallic as seen on the Lanvin catwalks then the shimmery Selma Michael Kors satchel is a perfect buy. Another trend this season is pretty pinks, the blush Mulberry Clemmie clutch is a timeless piece for effortless style. Bright colours are a must-have for Spring and the bow wallet is pretty as it gets with all the compartments any busy lady needs! A statement belt is essential this spring, to cinch in the waist for the feeling of empowerment. Reiss have an iconic animal print calf hair belt with a black stretch panel. To make a real statement with a hint of Royalty a la Dolce & Gabbana, a headdress is perfect. I love this pearl detail piece from Miss Selfridge, with just the right amount of sparkle. A floppy hat and big shades give off that model off duty look which I love, great for lazy bed hair and no make-up days too! Big watches have been trending for a while now, bringing empowerment and control to women as well as the ability to keep track of time! The Marc by Marc Jacobs has a chunky bracelet for a masculine edge, wear it with a chic skirt suit and classic white shirt. Like many fashion addicts, shoes are my weakness but if I had to choose just one pair of statement shoes this season, they would have to be platform shoes from Topshop. With a super high heel, nude leather and suede finish and a snakeskin platform these shoes make a statement with any spring outfit, bright colours, pretty dresses and metallics…the perfect shoe.
